Well if that's the case, i'll bet there aren't any botters in all of EQ2!! Hooray!
Yes, and the problem is, when you deny all visitor access on your house, you've made yourself immune to ever getting caught tradeskill botting in EQ2. Very sad indeed, and even sadder that Dehah would present that as a lack of proof conveniently allowing him to not live up to his moral code.

I changed computers a while back, then switched servers, then wiped the contents of my screenshots, which I formerly had showing the person's level 7 toons dead on the floor of a crafting instance on multiple occasions, when you used to be able to die from failing to properly counter tradeskill reactions.

Screenshots don't prove anything by the way, except that you took a screenshot. How can you prove tradeskill botting with a screenshot, and exactly what is evidence of that?

The only real evidence is of dozens to hundreds of people who used to comment on that by this person frequently, in the Freeport crafting channel on the Blackburrow server. That is evidence.
I agree, eyewitness reports can be used as evidence.

Here is the evidence I have so far:

Ixnay says he saw the person dead a few times at crafting stations.
Illuminator said he saw the person paste some funny numbers into guild chat.
A thread Ixnay pointed to where someone else saw Emma dead at a crafting station (may or may not be same incident? Not sure).

Where is the dozens to hundreds of people's eye witness evidence? What are they going to report, that they saw Emma dead at a crafting station? Since when is being dead at a crafting station undeniable proof that someone is a bot. I have no problem with a person taking their wireless keyboard, and repeatedly pressing a few buttons while they watch TV or read a book. I personally wouldn't do it because of accusations like these that result.

You're so called evidence, is no better than several people claiming someone is a witch because they all saw her with a black cat. Yes, it is true, we have many eye witness reports showing evidence that she has a black cat. Unfortunately, a black cat does not mean the person is a witch.

Bot hunting is a waste of time, because they are only witch hunts. It is impossible as a normal player to get any real evidence that could prove someone guilty of the act. I have caught people AFK crafting before, sometimes, they respond 5 minutes later and say "sorry I wasn't paying attention to by screen", and sometimes they come back a few hours later. When I press them for why they took so long to respond, you would be surprised at how often they admit they were botting. If they were to deny it--this hasn't happened yet--I would advise them to pay more attention to their screen so as to avoid similar accusations in the future.

The only time you can really persecute a witch, is when the witch admits to being a witch.

The only time you can really persecute a witch, is when the witch admits to being a witch.
Yes, so you agree it is impossible to prove Emma has done these things according to the definition of proof you require. The level of proof you demand could never exist unless she admitted botting to you personally, or you personally witnessed it with your own eyes, which I've proven is not possible and can never happen.

So you have established an impossible evidentiary standard that can never be met. And thus you will conveniently not have to take any action in this case. Yet you are quite comfortable calling other people hypocrits? Where is your consistency Sir?

Interpreting

"When he moved in on my market by leveling a weaponsmith, I saw that as the same thing as someone sticking their hand in my pocket or demanding protection money."

as

"invading your market"

is conveniently mischaracterizing what you said?

Yes, and especially since you left out the entire sentence before that one, which adds the context your mischaracterization lacks.

Please don't put your words in my mouth, especially out of context to make a point that you are trying to argue.

Thank you
